Subdivisions (Live Version)

[Verse 1]

Got in the car and the cold metallic scent of snow

Caught in my throat as I reached out to turn on the radio

The unfamiliar songs, the voices sing of love

And of wanting to dance and to sing in the rhythm of

[Chorus 1]

The road was overwhelmed with snow piled high in all the ditches

I drove as though I did not understand all the divisions

The yellow signs and the painted lines

And the order they envisioned was so clear

[Verse 2]

I joined the steady line of cars on the highway

As though I was going home, but I drove the wrong way

Past thе looming walls of subdivisions

Out past the strip malls, white fields, and gas stations

[Chorus 2]

I wantеd just to call you then, but still I knew I couldn’t

I left you back at home because I simply could not do it

Tell you I could be with you when I could see right through it

Our whole life

[Bridge]

But what if I misjudged

In the wildest of emotion?

I took this way too far

[Chorus 3]

The highway disembodied from the rest of my experience

A narrow band of ice that stretched across the disappearance

Of the central plan, the guiding hand

The keeping-up appearance of a life

[Outro]

But what if I misjudged

In the wildest of emotion?

What if I misjudged

In the wildest of emotion?

Did I take this way too far?
